	Basis of Presentation
	The condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 29, 2014 and for the three months ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013, include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications) necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income, statement of stockholders' equity, and statements of cash flows of Motorola Solutions, Inc. (“Motorola Solutions” or the “Company”) for all periods presented.
	Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The results of operations for the three months ended March 29, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year.
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-05, “Service Concession Arrangements.” The ASU clarifies that an operating entity should not account for a services concession arrangement with a public-sector grantor as a lease if:  (i) the grantor controls or has the ability to modify or approve the services the operating entity must provide, to whom it must provide them, and at what price and (ii) the grantor controls any residual interest in the infrastructure at the end of the arrangement. In addition, the infrastructure used in a service concession arrangement would not be recognized as property, plant and equipment of the operating entity. The ASU is to be applied on a modified retrospective basis to service concession arrangements outstanding upon adoption and will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2015. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

	Risk Management
	Foreign Currency Risk
	At March 29, 2014, the Company had outstanding foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling $703 million, compared to $837 million outstanding at December 31, 2013. The Company does not believe these financial instruments should subject it to undue risk due to foreign exchange movements because gains and losses on these contracts should generally offset gains and losses on the underlying assets, liabilities and transactions, except for the ineffective portion of the instruments, which are charged to Other within Other income (expense) in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.
	The following table shows the five largest net notional amounts of the positions to buy or sell foreign currency as of March 29, 2014, and the corresponding positions as of December 31, 2013:
		Notional Amount
	Net Buy (Sell) by Currency	March 29,			December 31,
		2014			2013
	British Pound	$	262		$	257
	Chinese Renminbi	(179		)	(181		)
	Norwegian Krone	(105		)	(95		)
	Brazilian Real	(49		)	(44		)
	Israeli Shekel	(38		)	(40		)
	Interest Rate Risk
	At March 29, 2014, including the current portion, the Company had $2.5 billion of long-term debt, which is primarily priced at long-term, fixed interest rates.
	As part of its liability management program, one of the Company’s European subsidiaries has outstanding interest rate agreements (“Interest Agreements”) relating to Euro-denominated loans. The interest on the Euro-denominated loans is variable. The Interest Agreements change the characteristics of interest payments from variable to maximum fixed-rate payments. The Interest Agreements are not accounted for as a part of a hedging relationship and, accordingly, the changes in the fair value of the Interest Agreements are included in Other income (expense) in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the Interest Agreements was in a liability position of $3 million at March 29, 2014 and $3 million at December 31, 2013.
	Counterparty Risk
	The use of derivative financial instruments exposes the Company to counterparty credit risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties. However, the Company’s risk is limited to the fair value of the instruments when the derivative is in an asset position. The Company actively monitors its exposure to credit risk. As of March 29, 2014, all of the counterparties have investment grade credit ratings. The Company is not exposed to material net credit risk with any single counterparty. As of March 29, 2014, the Company was exposed to an aggregate net credit risk of approximately $1 million with all counterparties.
	The following tables summarize the fair values and location in the condensed consolidated balance sheets of all derivative financial instruments held by the Company at March 29, 2014 and December 31, 2013:
		Fair Values of Derivative Instruments

	Income Taxes
	At March 29, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had valuation allowances of $263 million and $256 million, respectively, including $230 million and $233 million, respectively, relating to deferred tax assets for non-U.S. subsidiaries. The Company believes the remaining deferred tax assets are more-likely-than-not to be realizable based on estimates of future taxable income and the implementation of tax planning strategies.
	Undistributed earnings the Company intends to reinvest indefinitely, and for which no income taxes have been provided, aggregate to $1.4 billion at March 29, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The Company currently has no plans to repatriate the foreign earnings permanently reinvested and therefore, the time and manner of repatriation is uncertain. If circumstances change and it becomes apparent that some or all of the permanently reinvested earnings will be remitted to the U.S. in the foreseeable future, an additional income tax charge may be necessary.
	The Company evaluates its permanent reinvestment assertions with respect to foreign earnings at each reporting period and, except for certain earnings the Company intends to reinvest indefinitely due to the capital requirements of the foreign subsidiaries or due to local country restrictions, accrues for the U.S. federal and foreign tax applicable to the earnings. During the first quarter of 2013, the Company reassessed its unremitted earnings position and concluded that certain of its non-U.S. subsidiaries' earnings were permanently invested overseas. The Company intends to utilize the offshore earnings to fund foreign investments, such as potential acquisitions and capital expenditures. In the first quarter of 2013, the Company recorded a net tax benefit of $25 million related to reversals of deferred tax liabilities for undistributed foreign earnings, primarily due to the change in permanent reinvestment assertion.
	As of March 29, 2014, the Company has approximately $600 million of foreign earnings not considered permanently reinvested and which may be repatriated without an additional tax charge, given the U.S. federal and foreign tax accrued on undistributed earnings and the utilization of available foreign tax credits.
	The Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $128 million and $156 million at March 29, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, of which $105 million and $131 million, respectively, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate, net of resulting changes to valuation allowances. The Company's liability for unrecognized tax benefits is classified within its condensed consolidated balance sheets within Accrued liabilities, Other liabilities, and Deferred income taxes, to the extent settlement will reduce deferred tax assets. During the three months ended March 29, 2014, the Company adjusted its unrecognized tax benefits for prior year tax positions for facts that now indicate the extent to which certain tax positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained. The Company recorded a gross increase of $19 million and a gross decrease of $49 million to unrecognized tax benefits for prior year tax positions resulting in a net tax benefit of $30 million.
	Based on the potential outcome of the Company’s global tax examinations or the expiration of the statute of limitations for specific jurisdictions, it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits will change within the next twelve months. The associated net tax impact on the effective tax rate, exclusive of valuation allowance changes, is estimated to be in the range of a $50 million tax charge to a $50 million tax benefit, with cash payments not to exceed $25 million.
	The Company has audits pending in several tax jurisdictions. Although the final resolution of the Company's global tax disputes is uncertain, based on current information, in the opinion of the Company's management, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations. However, an unfavorable resolution of the Company's global tax disputes could have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations in the periods in which the matters are ultimately resolved.

Fair Value Measurements	'
	Fair Value Measurements
	The Company holds certain fixed income securities, equity securities and derivatives, which are recognized and disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Fair value is measured using the fair value hierarchy and related valuation methodologies as defined in the authoritative literature. This guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to each measurement are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company's assumptions about current market conditions.
	The fair value hierarchy and related valuation methodologies are as follows:
	Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
	Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations, in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.
	Level 3—Valuations derived from valuation techniques, in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.
	The fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities by level in the fair value hierarchy as of March 29, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were as follows:
	March 29, 2014	Level 2
	Assets:
	Foreign exchange derivative contracts	$	2
	Available-for-sale securities:
	Government, agency, and government-sponsored enterprise obligations	15

	Common stock and equivalents	2		—		2
	Liabilities:

	Interest agreement derivative contracts	—		3		3
	The Company had no Level 3 holdings as of March 29, 2014 or December 31, 2013.
	At March 29, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had $2.1 billion of investments in money market mutual funds (Level 2) classified as Cash and cash equivalents in its condensed consolidated balance sheet. The money market funds had quoted market prices that are equivalent to par.
	Using quoted market prices and market interest rates, the Company determined that the fair value of long-term debt at March 29, 2014 was $2.6 billion (Level 2), consistent with the instruments' face value of $2.5 billion. Since considerable judgment is required in interpreting market information, the fair value of the long-term debt is not necessarily indicative of the amount which could be realized in a current market exchange.
	All other financial instruments are carried at cost, which is not materially different from the instruments’ fair values.

	Certain purchasers of the Company’s products and services may request that the Company provide long-term financing (defined as financing with a term of greater than one year) in connection with the sale of products and services. These requests may include all or a portion of the purchase price of the products and services. The Company’s obligation to provide long-term financing may be conditioned on the issuance of a letter of credit in favor of the Company by a reputable bank to support the purchaser’s credit or a pre-existing commitment from a reputable bank to purchase the long-term receivables from the Company. The Company had outstanding commitments to provide long-term financing to third parties totaling $223 million at March 29, 2014, compared to $120 million at December 31, 2013.
